In light of all the debate that is going on now about (The Swedish model of control) and the recent debate in DCU about legislation of prostitution, is it not time to ask, Do our legislators know anything about what they are talking and legislating for, ? ----------apart from what they read or heard from the extreme views or opinions on either side of the argument.
I would not expect any our TD's or Senators to admit that they have ever visited escorts, and if they never have, how would they know what the scene is,?
I don't expect Clergy men,Solicitors,Garda,Bankers,Civil servants or any member of the general public to admit either.
Yet we are bombarded with opinions about exploitation, spread of STI's and other biased opinion.
There is very little written about about one night drunken stands which may be contributing more to the spread of STI's
That there is exploitation i have no doubt and i would support all efforts by the authorities to stamp it out.
The limited resources of the state should focus on protecting any vulnerable individual and not to criminalise consenting adults
